Vintage Old 1960's Soap Opera Love is a Many Splendered Thing 12/01/1967

[@jimtrue1465]

It's so nice watching a soap where a scene lasts more than 2 minutes, actually allowing for emotional response.

Aired On KMGH-TV Channel 7 Denver Colorado (Alternate ABC)

[@AstariaDayne]

Willie Loomis sure got around!

[@createchaosgossip]

[@TheCatgirl6]

Wow--I remember my grandmother loving this show. Brings back some very sweet memories--thanks for sharing it; please post more.

[@armenianchik]

I didn't know Monica from General Hospital was on this soap!

I wonder what cleaner she is using on that floor? If it is Ajax, then it is the most powerful cleaner with the extra power to cut through the daily dirt, grease, grime and filth we track in. And, if she has children, Ajax has a disinfectant to eliminate 99.9% of household germs. Yes, Ajax, cleaning soap opera kitchens for quite a while now.

Take the ajax and clean out your cats litter box with it!... Lol...

In the 60s ...Anyone remember showing a couple in the bedroom was taboo on tv they only showed on the camera on a closed bedroom door with them talking inside.

In the show's first year, "Love is a Many Splendored Thing" used recorded musical cues before changing to a live organist. Eddie Layton and John Winter assumed that role. CBS' Lee Jordan was the announcer.

Soooo, the police officer's sister left home drunk, she also literally left him holding the bottle. She then drives to the bar and pick up the man that she loves. They, then, leave the bar together. She's still driving. Even though when she left home, she was so drunk that her speech began to slur. I absolutely enjoyed watching this video. It was very modern yet classic at the same time

CBS brings this program in color. It's like saying today. CBS brings this program in HD.

[@TheZacharyMartinShow]

You'll be surprised. I can edit it on my movie program it is in fact in color.

[@jimtrue1465]

Back in the 60s, most color TVs had to be finetuned and/or adjusted to bring in a clear signal. Without that finetuning, a color program may seem to be in Black and White. So the networks created those "this program is in color" message to let people know they have to finetune their sets if they aren't getting color. Otherwise, the viewer might just assume that the program was indeed in Black and White.

[@sheriheffner2098]

When this aired I was 11:18 four years old and my sister was one year,seven months old. My cousin Bryan was seven months old

[@MotleySioux-bw6qn]

[@tperk]

Part of that block of CBS afternoon soaps I remember my mother watching daily from noon until 3 during the mid 1960s. The only programming that could stop these shows were special news bulletins about political assassinations and rockets to the moon.

[@Bellero]

+Belleroguy Indeed it is. I recognized her immediately. Since i was a huge fan of GH back in the day when her all of the Quartermains were actually a big deal on GH.
